The best BIG A$$ Seat
My a$$ needs to know what is the best seat for someone over 300 lbs? I know ya'll are out there I've seen ya. I've got a new Sundowner I guess Ineed a little more width (it's definitly better than stock).

WHAT SEAT 101...
There IS NOT a seat made that will fit everyone the same way...
A Member here has tried a few seats and below is some info on a few seats that he's tried..

Road Zepplin is a BIG SEAT but it is also Taller then some. Unless you have a Full Touring Bike (with TourPak) it looks over sized for the bike...
You might also contact Mean City Cycles and see is there something they can do

Road Zeppelin is 21" across the hips. Stock seat is about 17. That alone makes a huge difference, even if you don't use the air bladders. I think so far it's only made up through '07 models. In '08 the seat / tank mounts were changed.
It does move you forward a little as well, which you may or may not like.

I'm 280 and I usually like a Mustang for my keester, but you know what? The stock seat on my 09 FLTR is pretty nice. I definitely could live with it for a while, maybe longer! Same with the stock exhaust, it rocks too (although I will replace w/ monster ovals.)

I weigh over 300 lbs.
The most comfortable seat I've experienced on a Harley is the air seat system on the newer model police bikes. It's wide, and moves you back an inch or so to adjust for the abundant posterior. Not the most stylish seat, but I gave up on style when my scale went past 299.
The Road Zep, while very comfortable, moves you forward a bit. For some, that's a good thing.
